Comey is one of the reasons we are where we are, but he does not deserve to be prosecuted for made up crimes. Trump personally demanded his prosecution and is celebrating this. This is not normal and needs to stop immediately. When Democrats on tv say that Republicans say that Trump is crazy or gone over the line they never name names. They need to start, because no telling when they are next.

That’s why Kash Patel has a job still. He’s waiting for December to fire him to distract again from the Epstein-Trump files.

I don't believe his dad taught him anything! Sent him to military SKOOL never gave him the "rod" or "belt's of correction! And never showed any affection! That's his problem!

Picket. Fox, Sinclair, Netstar. Make news.

If Sinclair- and Nexstar are losing advertising revenue as a result of their conduct, theur shareholders are screwed and can bring shareholder derivitive suits.

What would it take to do hostile takeovers?

To sue for intentional interfence of business relagtions?

Massive work walkouts, MASSIVE fundraisers.. ie concerts FOR AWARENESS, MORE PEOPLE WITH VOICES standing up for their country, more people joining this substack.. getting more people to join it, or paying for them to join. More people posting EVERYWHERE, More protests FOR SURE, Way more BOYCOTTS !!!!!.. and ORGANIZED lists of things to boycott. MORE PEOPLE BOYCOTTING ...even things they love, THERE IS TONSSS LEFT WE CAN ALLL DO, TONS. More people getting their meighbours to VOTE, helping them register for the big vote in a year, MORE OPTIMISM that mooore can be done, less division, and more JOINING TOGETHER to take ACTION.. as opposed to just cheerleading. (I do much of both.) MOOORE people need to be calling representatives. More fundraisers in local communities in the smallest of ways... which build into bigger things. Sports competitions for DEMOCRACY. LEADERS LEADING, not folding. CELEBRITIES speaking out... hardly anyyyyyy are !!!!! THE BIG NEWS DOING THEIR JOBS and COVERING everything !!!! MOOORE people picketing and showing up where ICE is. More signs, MORE NOISE, more writing... more of everyyyything. Optimism is going to win the day. Not a defeated attitude. It is POSSIBLE to win but everyone will need to act.. and EVERYONE SHOULD BE CHEEEEERLEADING AS WELL. I myself made up tons of anti trump signs for the protests in Canada, I donate to these causes often, and that's just a titch of what I've been doing and what I plan on doing....Yes, action. ACTION AND WORDS AND CHEERLEADING. There is tonnssss left to do. But it will take EVERYONE. xox Get creative. Defeat is not really an option here.

PS Your comment "I'm not sure much is left!!".. there is sooo much left to DO in order to SAVE YOUR DEMOCRACY that it's mind boggling. What's been done so far is a drop in the bucket compared to WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE to save USA. People have only gotten started.....

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

THE TIME FOR ACTION WAS YESTERDAY.

Let’s cut to the chase. The majority of the Democratic Party has failed its constituents horrendously. When almost 100 of them vote to honour rabid racist Charlie Kirk, at the same time that Republican radicals are casting unwarranted blame on anyone seemingly left, you should know those political hacks don’t represent your salvation from MAGA madness. There needs to be a SHUTDOWN, that is orchestrated by the people. You don’t need politicians to be the flag bearers in your righteous crusade for justice. YOU hold the power. This needs to be a continuous effort that doesn’t waver until basic human dignities and rights are returned. You can’t pencil in a period of a few days and then relent, expecting there to be any significant impact. The public needs to rise up nationwide. You are the majority several times over. If you are not willing to temporarily sacrifice and suffer now, you had better prepare yourselves, your children and your grandchildren to be permanently under the dictator’s boot. Project 2025 is in hyper drive, but the public is still acting shellshocked. You need to snap out of it. You do not have months to strategize. The time to rise up was yesterday. Haven’t you witnessed enough to realize where the country is headed? The Billionaires are playing you for suckers. They need a shot of cold hard reality, to remind them that this is your damn country. Waiting for elections in 2026/28 is a sucker’s bet, that they are counting on you falling for. Let the politicians squabble endlessly, while they witness the massive swell of the peoples’ outrage in the streets. They need to be reminded that it is YOU who pays their huge salaries, covers all their expenses and gives them the security of lucrative pensions, regardless of how terrible they perform. They are drunk on their self-inflated importance. They were elected to serve. They have failed miserably. They have sold you out at every turn, while enriching themselves and their cronies. Don’t you believe you deserve better? Don’t you believe it is time for major changes? Don’t you believe the world could be a better place? Don’t you believe this fight is just? It is time to realize that there is no calvary coming in this B grade saga. The only hope of a happy ending is if the collective masses demand to dictate how this drama ends.

Thank you for joining our country in protesting the fascist government that is taking over our constitution!!! I will be at my second No Kings protest that day in Anoka, MN. I had signed up for that site the first rally date but it had to be cancelled at the last minute because it was the next city over to where our representatives, and their dog, were murdered the night before and the killer was still on the loose. I resigned up for the protest in front of tom emmer's office, he's our republican version of trump.

I appreciate your thoughts. However many people are saying the same thing over & over as you have done. That's not getting us anywhere. We don't need to keep hearing the same thinngs. We know we are in a crisis. What we need is leadership even at the lowest level. Offer solutions. Offer a path we should follow. Best way recently was the immediate impact ABC felt when firing Jimmy Kimmel. Those actions were a "simple" step in righting a wrong & fighting back. That's the type of things many, many of us can do. We can't take to the streets. We can't join in at rally's. But we can still act even if in a small capacity. It's time for everyone to stop posting about what is happening & saying the same things everyone else is saying. It's time for action & we need good leaders to resist the tyranny & guide us on solutions. We know the problem. What's the solution?

This is the best of both worlds to me. Comeys bad deeds during the 2016 election come back to bite him. At the same time Trumps shitty case will show what a liar he is and will blow up in his face. Win, win!

I agree, Ben, that this is a vindictive prosecuttion that will fail miserably in court. Also agree that it will cause further damage to the DOJ and FBI. That with the sudden gathering of more than 800 generals for a reason yet to be explained is another indication that our nation is unsafe under DJT.

Pay attention to what just happened to Mikie Sherrill!

Punkette's avatar

Here are details (capitalization is mine):

The National Archives admits it WRONGFULLY RELEASED the military records of New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill.

The records show Sherill, who is a congressmember and war veteran, was barred from walking in her 1994 Naval Academy graduation for failing to report classmates who had cheated on an exam.

Sherrill herself was never accused of cheating.

House leader Hakeem Jeffries says THE WHITE HOUSE LEAKED THE INFO TO HELP HER OPPONENT, Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

Sherill said Ciattarelli will "stop at nothing to illegally obtain records."

Ciattarelli said she's violated the Navy's code of honor.

Yes I know all this. I read everything available before I posted. I think the story and criminality involved by Ciaterelli’s Staff and of course the archive employee who released her unredacted records is as big a deal as the Comey Indictment. If Ciaterelli isn’t involved he still has shown he is unqualified to be Governor just by his staff picks.
